A Sierra
Repertory Theatre tradition, Pump Boys and Dinettes is
the ultimate musical tribute to life on the roadside. There’s a gas station,
where Jim, Jackson, L.M. and Eddie occasionally do auto repairs fueled by beer
and music. There’s the diner next door, run by the Cupp sisters, sassy Rhetta
and sweet-tempered Prudie. There are six performers, each of whom sings, dances
and plays an instrument—guitar, bass, piano, even wooden spoons. The show
features a variety of musical styles, including country, rock and folk.
